Every year, people come together to celebrate Thanksgiving. This family-oriented holiday is best known for its food and drinks.
One of the best cocktails that you could serve at this time is the Pear and Ginger-Sage Champagne Cocktail! They are so delicious, especially when served in a stemless wine glass with a slice of pear on top.
First, you need to make the syrup. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine honey and water. Stir occasionally until mixture reaches boiling point.
Add the pears, ginger, and sage leaves. Simmer until the mixture has reduced by 1/3. About 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for an additional 10 minutes.
Strain the syrup into a large mason jar. Discard the ginger and sage leaves.
To assemble the drinks place a few pieces of the cooked pear into each glass followed by 1-2 tablespoons of the simple syrup. Add the champagne and enjoy.
Recipe Note
Save yourself some time and make the simple syrup ahead of time. It will keep for up to two weeks in your refrigerator, so all that's left is waiting on those ice cream cones or smoothies!
